Preparing The Brussel Sprouts
To make this dish for two, you will need about 10 fresh Brussel sprouts. Trim the end stem off of the Brussel sprouts, then slice them in half length-wise.
Fill a Medium sized saucepan with water, and bring it to a boil. Add the Brussel sprout halves, and boil them for 7-8 minutes or until the Brussel sprouts have become slightly tender.
Remove the pan from the stove, and drain off the water. Let the Brussel sprouts cool.
Preparing The Bacon
You will need crisp, cooked bacon for this casserole. I find it’s best to cook it at the same time the Brussel sprouts are cooking, to save time.
Cut the bacon into small pieces, then cook, stirring often until browned, cooked through, and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked bacon to paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
Assembling The Brussel Sprout Casserole For Two
Once the Brussel sprouts have cooled enough to handle, cut them into thin slices with a sharp knife. Place the slices into a medium-sized bowl.
Add grated cheddar cheese (half the total amount), bacon, half and half, salt and black pepper to the bowl. Gently toss these ingredients together until they’re fully combined.
Place the combined Brussel sprout mixture into a lightly greased small baking dish. Now the casserole is ready for the final step before baking!
Topping And Then Baking The Casserole
Sprinkle the top of the Brussel sprout casserole with the remaining grated cheddar cheese. Top this with the crispy Panko breadcrumbs.
Place the Brussel sprout casserole for two into a preheated 400°F. oven, and bake for 14-16 minutes. When done, the top should be lightly browned and crusted, and the casserole will be fully heated through.
Serving The Brussel Sprout Casserole For Two
Transfer the baking dish from the oven to a wire rack. Let the casserole cool 1-2 minutes before serving. Scoop out a portion (recipe yields 2 servings), transfer to plates… serve and enjoy!
